The invention discloses a highly connected
coordination polymer and a preparation method thereof. The highly connected
coordination polymer adopts the following
chemical formula: [Zn5(3,3'-tmbpt)(btec)2(OH)2], wherein betc is deprotonated 1,2,4,5-
pyromellitic acid; 3,3'-tmbpt is 1-((1H-1,2,4-
triazole)methyl)-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-
triazole. Carboxyl groups of polycarboxylic acid anions can coordinate with
metal ions to form
metal clusters with larger size; the
metal clusters serve as nodes, so that connections of the nodes can be greatly increased. In addition, distances among several coordinating groups of a polydentate
nitrogen-containing ligand 3,3'-tmbpt is relatively large, so that steric hindrance is relatively small during coordination, and the
metal clusters can further expand easily to form the
coordination polymer adopting highly connected structure. The coordination
polymer can serve as a
broadband semiconductor material and a molecular-based light emitting material to be further developed and applied.
